inb4 "based Irish": Ryanair are a corporation and not cool enough to boycott Israel on principle; there's some other reason

Yeah no, Michael O'Leary has as much in common with James Connolly as Elon Musk does with Nelson Mandela.

yeah lol, Connolly was based and a member of the IWW (join, maybe?), while O'Leary literally called for the army to get involved in a strike. Different on many levels.

The only reason is Irish is because of tax status.

Are you saying "The only reason RYANAIR is Irish is because of tax status" ?

It was founded by Irish people. It initially only operated Irish flights.

Ok, well, so that people reading know, that's disinformation.

It didn't offer non-Irish flights for its first 13 years.

It's not an offshore company.
